I’m very grateful for the detailed critiques I received from Bliss Bennett, Judith Laik and Jess Russell. I’m so, so excited to be a part of a critique group with authors I so deeply admire. I’m equally grateful for the brilliant suggestions and support from Entangled editor Erin Molta. I’m certain it must have looked like this book would never come together. And I wouldn’t have made it through the final weeks of mad writing without my husband Richard (aka Chef of the Future) and my weekly check-ins with Madeline Iva (aka of-course-you-can…now-get-back-to-work-Madeline).
Most of all, I’m grateful for the readers who reached out and told me they were anticipating Markham’s book. Those notes kept me going.
